Prosecutors Issue Draft Indictments in Hariri Probe

HeadlineJan 18, 2011

International prosecutors have issued draft indictments in their probe of the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri. The contents of the indictments remain under seal and may not emerge for another six weeks. Lebanon’s national unity government collapsed last week after Hezbollah-tied officials quit their cabinet posts in protest of the Lebanese government’s ties to the probe and the rumored indictments of Hezbollah members. Hezbollah has denied involvement in Hariri’s assassination and denounced the tribunal as a tool of the United States.
